Silly Stamper (and her crew)

I think this year has been the best year yet and look forward to 2013. 2012 is the first full year of Lawson's life (Jan-Dec). It's been so fun watching Lawson grow and change. He's turned from a baby into a toddler and learning new things every day. He is starting to form words and understands things we tell him. He is such a good little boy and we feel very blessed to be his parents. Wishing everyone a happy and healthy New Year! Make it great!!!

Time sure does fly when you are having fun and we sure are having fun! Lawson started walking and climbing so we have discovered all kinds of fun new things! He loves to climb up on the couch and onto daddy's chair. It is so cute to see him walk around the corner into the kitchen and watch him light up when he sees me. He is such a good natured, easy going, sweet little boy. Here are a couple of pictures Larry took of Lawson earlier this month. It was hard to get him to sit still...he is so busy!

We took advantage of a sun break and headed to a local pumpkin patch. Love him in his little Oregon State sweatshirt and his jeans. Thanks to my husband for the awesome pictures and photo collage.

Our little boy turned one! This last year has absolutely FLOWN, but it has been filled with so much love and joy. We love this little boy more and more everyday and look forward to this next year!

We spent a week in Maui the first of October. Lawson didn't like the sand much, but loved the pool.

My favorite boys!

Here are some underwater shots from our summer Water Babies class.

Lawson and I have been going to Water Babies once a week. We are both loving it. Here are some pictures from class today (thanks to mom and dad for coming down!) and a video of Lawson going under water. Amazing how adaptable babies are...well most of them...you can hear one of the little boys in the video who was NOT happy about being in the water!

Getting ready for class. There are a total of 18 babies in this class!

I love it even if I do get some water up my nose and in my eyes!

Floating on my back, although, I prefer to pick my head up and put my feet in the air.

We loaded up our camping gear and headed for the mountains on our maiden voyage with a baby and our new (to us) tent trailer. We couldn't have asked for better weather or company. Mom and dad joined us with my nephew Doyle. Doyle and Lawson are great little campers and good buddies. Doyle was so sweet to play and entertain Lawson with book reading, bubble blowing and other entertainment. Here are some pictures...

Trailer all set up and working great!
